Donald Trump Doubles Down on IQ Criticism of AOC and Crockett, Challenges Them to Take Cognitive Ability Tests [WATCH]

President Donald Trump is intensifying his criticism of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and her progressive allies in Congress, calling for members of the so-called “Squad” to take cognitive tests, as reported by The Daily Mail.

In a Truth Social post on Monday morning, the president specifically targeted Ocasio-Cortez and Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, labeling them as low intelligence and unfit for leadership.

“‘Congresswoman’ Jasmine Crockett is a low (very!!!) I.Q. individual, much in the mold of the AOC Plus Three Gang of Country Destroying Morons — only slightly dumber,” Trump wrote.

“Each of these political hacks should be forced to take a cognitive exam, much like the one I recently took while getting my ‘physical’ at our great Washington, D.C., military hospital (WR!).”

Trump said he “aced” his cognitive exam during his April checkup at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, boasting that doctors described his perfect score as something “rarely seen.”

He claimed members of the Squad would fail such a test “in a spectacular show of stupidity and incompetence.”

Neither Ocasio-Cortez’s nor Crockett’s offices responded to requests for comment.

Trump, 79, has clashed repeatedly with Ocasio-Cortez since she entered Congress in 2019, often mocking her policy positions and questioning her competence.

Ocasio-Cortez, 35, represents a district near Trump’s childhood home in New York and has opposed him on nearly every issue.

Crockett, 44, has recently emerged as another frequent target for the president’s criticism. In early July, Trump said, “AOC is very nice but she’s very low IQ, and we don’t need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best.”

“AOC? Look, I think she’s very nice, but she’s VERY low IQ, and we really don’t need low IQ. Between her and Crockett, we’re going to give them both an IQ test to see who comes out best. I took my test and I aced it!”

Ocasio-Cortez has at times responded to Trump’s attacks with sarcasm. “Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl,” she said in reaction to a recent remark in which Trump called her “one of the dumbest people in Congress.”

Mr. President, don’t take your anger out on me – I’m just a silly girl.

Take it out on whoever convinced you to betray the American people and our Constitution by illegally bombing Iran and dragging us into war.

That exchange followed her call for Trump’s impeachment after U.S. airstrikes in Iran in June.

Crockett has also pushed back against Trump’s comments. “We’ve already been over this. I’ve got the degrees, the credentials, and the receipts. If you’re looking for ‘low IQ,’ try looking in the mirror — or at your own Cabinet,” she posted on X earlier this month.

According to a White House memo released after Trump’s April medical exam, the president “exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health” and scored a perfect 30 out of 30 on the test.
